Q37. Some people wrote about their trips on the Internet.
Which is about the trip to Happyland?
(A) This was my first time baking banana cake with my grandma at her place. It tasted so yummy…
(B) I love the old temples in the old town so much. Best of all, we had dinner in one of the temples… ← 我的答案
(C) We took a boat ride along the river. The river was not clean, but we could still see kids playing in the water…
(D) It was a different experience staying outside at night. The stars in the sky were just like many eyes looking at me from above… ← 正確答案
我的答案:(B)看到 the old town 完全吻合就勾了,沒檢查 temples 和 dinner
正確答案:(D)對應 one night camping in the mountains ——晚上待在戶外
錯在哪裡
找到一個吻合的關鍵字就停手了。
(B) 裡的 the old town 確實在 Day 1 出現過(take a walk in the old town),
而且是一字不差,所以很有說服力。
但 (B) 還講了兩件事:old temples(老廟) 和
we had dinner in one of the temples(在廟裡吃晚餐)。 整張行程表從頭到尾沒有出現 temple 這個字,也沒有任何一餐是在廟裡吃的。
四晚 modern hotelsvs一晚 camping in the mountains→a different experience (跟其他晚不一樣)
行程表的說明欄特地寫了
「Stay in modern hotels (with breakfast) and one night camping in the mountains」。 這個 one night 就是 (D) 說「不一樣的體驗」的根據——
五天裡只有這一晚睡在外面。 行程表的「小字說明欄」常常就是答案所在,不要只看 Day 1~Day 5 的表格。
地點類的字要特別小心被掉包:
lake ↔ river、castle ↔ home、mountain ↔ beach。
這是最常見的偷換方式。
表格題要連「表格外的小字」一起讀。
價格條件、住宿說明、Group Size、Best Travel Time
——這幾行常常各出一題。
延伸:同一張行程表的另外兩題(這兩題答對了)
第 35 題 Linda 和爸媽、姐姐一起參加,總共要付多少?
Linda + 爸 + 媽 + 姐姐 = 4 人 → 符合 three and more people 10% off $1,600 × 4 = $6,400 → $6,400 × 0.9 = $5,760 (B) 當時在題目旁邊算出 1600 → 1440 → 5760,做法完全正確。算折扣題一定要像這樣把算式寫在旁邊,不要心算。
第 36 題 Jack 夫婦 10/8~10/12 參團,10 月 11 日那天的圖是哪張?
10/8 是 Day 1 → 10/11 就是 Day 4 → Day 4 有 Yellow Beach、dolphin show、seafood dinner、
dance on the beach at sunset → 選在沙灘上跳舞的那張(C)。 做法:先把日期換算成 Day 幾,寫在題目旁邊,再去看圖。注意 Day 1 是 10/8 不是 10/9——起算日就是第一天。
類題自我檢測
依照上面那張 Happyland 行程表判斷:
1. 下面哪一則也是在講這趟旅行?
(A) The seafood we caught by ourselves tasted great. We even danced on the sand when the sun went down…
(B) The dolphin show at the zoo was amazing. My little sister cried when it ended…
2. 一個 12 人的班級想在 7 月參加這個行程,可以嗎?為什麼?
看解答
1. (A)。對應 Day 4 的 Catch fish and enjoy a seafood dinner +
Dance on the beach at sunset,兩項全對。 (B) 的誘餌是 dolphin show——行程確實有海豚秀,
但是 Take the ship and watch(搭船看),不是在 zoo(動物園)。
又是「對的活動 + 錯的地點」。
2. 不行,兩個條件都不符合。 ① Group Size: 16~30 people → 12 人不到最低人數。 ② Best Travel Time: March~May or October~November → 7 月不在建議期間內。 這兩行小字就是最容易被跳過、卻最常出題的地方。
